In recent months, unions of various professional classes, including doctors, nurses, teachers, pilots and justice officials, have declared strikes, demanding better working conditions and salary increases.
In a statement, the parliamentary group of the National Union for the Total Independence of Angola (UNITA) expresses “high concern” with “the clamor of Angolan workers”, which “demonstrates the precariousness of the lives of professionals” and their families.

It also shows solidarity with the professional classes that claim their rights and “commits to doing everything possible to, at the headquarters of the National Assembly and legal entities, advocate for an environment of dialogue and harmony with a view to solving the problems that arise”. affect the professional classes and beyond”.
